Our stuff is in Minnesota. Jon was ordained on the 14th (and the ordination service went well) and we got our stuff into the U-Haul and took off at noon on the 15th. My brother Sean and I then managed to get stranded in Columbus with car problems while Jon continued on unaware that we had lost him on I-70. (Eight hours later, we tracked him to the hotel where he was shocked that we weren’t behind him.) On the 16th (after getting the problem with Sable fixed), Sean and I drove from Columbus to La Crosse, Wisconsin with 4 very mewy cats. On the 17th, we drove from La Crosse to Madison, spending 30 minutes of the time in a ditch on the side of I-90 because someone in front of us suddenly hit their brakes, causing us to swerve on an ice patch to avoid them. Sable made it (though there is still an engine cylinder misfiring) and has survived two runs to the airport in Sioux Falls in addition to the move up to Madison. A team of people from both churches was there to help us unload our stuff and I spent the next couple days (aside from the airport run and a trip to Watertown to get banking and household errands done) in bed with a wicked cold.

I’m in Montana now and I’ll be here until the 29th. I have Internet access here (YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!) so I’ll actually update now and then. God willing, we will have DSL or broadband set up by the time I get back to Madison…
